{"product_id":"ecology-and-conservation-of-mountain-dan-chamberlain-9781108940429","title":"Ecology and Conservation of Mountain Birds","description":"High mountain habitats are globally important for biodiversity. At least 12% of birds worldwide breed at or above the treeline, many of which are endemic species or species of conservation concern. However, due to the challenges of studying mountain birds in difficult-to-access habitats, little is known about their status and trends. This book provides the first global review of the ecology, evolution, life history and conservation of high mountain birds, including comprehensive coverage of their key habitats across global mountain regions, assessments of diversity patterns along elevation gradients, and adaptations for life in the alpine zone. The main threats to mountain bird populations are also identified, including climate change, human land use and recreational activities. Written for ecologists and naturalists, this book identifies key knowledge gaps and clearly establishes the research priorities needed to increase our understanding of the ecology of mountain birds and to aid in their conservation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dan Chamberlain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108940420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108940429\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/20\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 5.91w x 0.94d","brand":"Dan Chamberlain","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44716295160063,"sku":"9781108940429","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_21b0ab31-f0b0-454a-85b3-32a2260ddb0a.jpg?v=1705681758","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ecology-and-conservation-of-mountain-dan-chamberlain-9781108940429","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
